"Great apartment, lovely host, but not the best area."

9.0

Large and well equipped Apartment. Host was readily available to answer our questions and even got us a kettle, the only thing that was missing from the kitchen.

The area was sketchy and dirty. Big stray dogs were constantly around the house.

"Nice place! I can say it's the best in Catania for the price.""

9.0

The property was newly renovated, very clean, and equipped with everything you need, including a microwave , coffee machine, washing machine .I also appreciated having two showers and toilets across two levels, which is fantastic. The owner was very nice, and the check-in process was quick.

Firstly, we were scared at the property because there were some huge dogs securing the area. However, in the end, we saw that they were nice, and we had no problems with them. On the other hand, the neighbors on ‘Wednesday night were very noisy. I don’t know why, but at 2:30 am, they were singing, laughing, and talking to each other in a loud manner.

"A lovely stay, short walk from the city centre"

10.0

Great value for money, very clean. Nicely set up too. The place itself is great! The host was super attentive, have never had someone so attentive to make sure everything was okay!

The street was quite noisy as people like to speed down it, but we had ear plugs so was okay

"Good apartment, bad location"

9.0

The stay at this apartment was a pleasant one and the host very prompt in all our requirements, even if there were some problems late in the evening ( short circuit) they were solved very quickly, even with the intervention of the skilled electrical crews until after midnight, but it was solved. A big thumbs up for this and in general the host is very helpful. Everything inside the apartment was ok, the accommodation was clean, equipped with everything you might need for a few days, but with a distinct musty smell, which is intended to be covered by the smell appliances in the sockets.

The location is a more dubious one in my view and extremely dirty. Everywhere on the streets you see rubbish dumped (garbage is dropped from the floor with a string) the smell from the surrounding streets is disgusting... Even if it is near the beach ( 25 minutes walk) you need to go by bus to the beach because there are no sidewalks for pedestrians, you can only walk on the main road where it is quite dangerous... I would never ever repeat the "Catania" experience again in my life !
